Hi,
Just a gentle reminder to upgrade freeglut.
I have noticed that there is a bug in the handling of SUPER modifier key
in version 3.4 which poses a hard to identify problem.
For example, when using mupdf-gl (the opengl version of the pdf reader),
the application does not react to key inputs when the num-lock key is
active.

The issue was reported upstream:
- https://github.com/freeglut/freeglut/issues/142
and corrected here:

https://github.com/freeglut/freeglut/commit/e9ceb6dd8df0b4b289b547e141ddb70b7f36cfe2
The correction is available starting from the 3.6 releases.
As the patch is quite simple, if you consider keeping the actual version
(3.4) in Debian, it would be nice to add this patch and eventually to
backport it to the actual stable release.
Newer version bring additional corrections for UTF-8 handling, which
would be nice to have.
